Bradley Hughes Golf Podcast – Mike Maves (Sevam1)

Golf, Golfers, Sports And Recreation, , , , , , , , , , ,

Sevam1 was an early YouTube sensation with his swing style and observations about how many great golfers, particularly Ben Hogan, swung the golf club. His backyard-style videos became folklore among people just being introduced to the concept of using the ground. Mike brilliantly tapped into Hogan’s phrase “The secret is in the dirt” as he set out on a golfing journey that would ultimately lead to founding a social platform of the same name, with Steve Elkington as his sidekick. This is a great conversation. Mike and I have amazingly similar views about the pressures of the swing, and it’s no coincidence that when he talked swing, he made mentions of the same ideas I use with drill 1 and drill 2 of my teaching series, as far as forearm rotation and the ground forces that ultimately shape the swing. Enjoy!!!

Golf, Golfers, Sports And Recreation, , , , , , , ,

It seems every few weeks the same old question about why golfers have to play from a divot rears its head. It is such an old, tired topic. I went inside some social media posts about it and joined the conversation. The remarks back at me were not unanticipated but here is why the people suggesting this free relief are misinformed and way off the mark with their beliefs.

John provides fascinating context into how equipment companies fine tune product to suit professionals such as Bernhard Langer, Scott McCarron and Mike Weir who represent the Tour Edge brand.
